Select any dashboard tile to interact with the data.
Select filter values across the top, then select Refresh in the upper right.
Review the saved filter values at the top of the dashboard.
Right-click in a tile to drill through to detailed data.
Select the Information control to view how dashboard data is calculated.
Show All
Use Show All to review the related detail behind a summarized amount or label on a dashboard or report.
Hover over an amount or label to display the underline.
Right-click the underlined amount or label, then select Show All.
Emburse Analytics displays the related detail. In the upper right corner, select Explore to view the full report, or select Download to save the data in your preferred format.
Run Standard Reports
-
In the relevant folder, select a standard report to open it.
Reports can display as tables, charts, or other visualization types.
Select Filters in the upper left to view and edit report filters.
Update the filters, then select Run.
Sort and Reorder Table Columns
Table visualizations support sorting and column reordering.
Hover over the right side of a column header to view Column Options (three dots) and sort controls.
Select the sort arrows in the column header to sort that column. The first selection sorts the column in descending order. Select the arrows again to sort in ascending order.
Drag a column header to move the column to a new position.
Sorting and moving columns in this view are not saved. To keep those changes, a user with the Creator user type must edit the report, make the changes, and then save. See the Creator Quick-Start Guide.
